These recordings for the Verve label, most under the direction of Roy’s great champion Norman Granz, began in 1951 soon after Roy’s return to the USA from europe. The final session in the set is from June, 1960.Throughout sixteen different sessions, Roy’s tone hums with energy, whether he’s vaulting into an upper register with no apparent ceiling, or caressing a mournful ballad. The sessions present Roy in a variety of settings, including small groups that comprised of Buddy Tate, Oscar Peterson, Jo Jones, Barney Kessel, Buddy Rich and Ray Brown; Roy with string orchestras led by the brilliant arranger-conductors George Williams and Russ Garcia; three jam session excursions, one with Benny Carter, another with Harry Edison, and a memorable battle with Dizzy Gillespie; two rare sideman titles with Ralph Burns, and two movie soundtrack titles from Paris; the famous trio session with Art Tatum that became a duet between Roy and drummer Alvin Stoller when Tatum couldn't make the gig (Roy overdubbed flugelhorn and piano); and a selection of trad numbers swung nicely in an album for Verve's Down Home series called "Swing Goes Dixie". Session by session notes and an appreciation of Eldridge are by Dan Morgenstern, and the lavish Mosaic booklet includes many rare photographs. The set includes 8 previously unissued alternate takes. But for many listeners? This entire set will be a revelation.
